Menu for the week July 9th 2017 incl Leek gravy and Tuscan Bean stew


Roast Chicken today. With:
Leek gravy: two large leeks, trimmed, cleaned. Halve lengthwise and slice into 1 cm slices. Put in lidde frying pan with a couple of tbsp . 400ml of liquid in total. 2 Chicken stock cubes - or 1 if lots of juices from the chicken.

And my own frozen roast potatoes - based on https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1789635/freezeahead-roasties but using polenta or semolina to coat


Using up some of the left over chicken, yet a vegetarian meal for me:

Tuscan Bean Stew. Variant that I will base on https://realfood.tesco.com/recipes/white-haricot-bean-tomato-soup.html I have some dried haricot beans that need using (soaking as I type). Some slices of ciabatta and clever crispy chicken bits to go on top for him.
